Came in after 12 last night and saw a special offer, just for me. I spent 2 hours going through the store and placing items in my cart, until I was ready to spend $108. By then it was after 2 a.m., however, and the price jumped back up to over $300. I contacted the sales team to ask if they couldn't extend the offer for me, but they wouldn't even respond, so, 12 hours after I sat down to look at the offer just for me, I pulled all the items out of my cart and spent 0. I still got a bunch of freebies, but I'm not giving you one cent if that's how you treat customers who've spent over $10,000 in your store and then 2 hours shopping only to have the offer yanked mid-purchase. Good day.
You won't do the things you need to do to show customers that they matter. You think this survey makes up for the 15 years that went before?
Pre ordered the V9 bundle during the initial live stream. I was disappointed that it took an entire day to get the items in my download yesterday and that I still didn't receive the free hair and bikini that was promised.
I am primarily interested in new sets, landscapes that are unusual (like cliffs with caves, rocky steps, canyons, etc.) Also interested in clothing sets that are not sexy, with high heels, but more adult and sophisticated, which work in dForce in bending poses, not just standing. Also any animations, mo-cap action in Aniblock format. If its not in this format, animators have to run each animation and convert them on their own, which takes a long time.
If you know the names of what you are looking for then finding it is very easy. If you are not sure of how something is named you can still find it but the search takes longer. Over all, 80%+ rating from me
THe Store has been a god send, sometimes you have to think of other names to search for things but that is a small price to pay
With a huge selection most of what you can think of you can find here. However you may have to enter several different names to find it. Example, to find SCARS you may have to search for WOUNDS
"Daz3D is completely FREE
Yes, it's free but in all of the most basic tutorials, will demonstrate how to "click here" to buy the figures for $10.95 (or more) each. ALL of the items they show, you must pay for. I think I can make a box for free and paint it solid blue. When you go to click on something, it is from a huge list of items, each one costing money. The Library of items they show (figures, clothes, props, textures, etc.) would require over $500.
The library they show you in your app were NOT downloaded; they are advertising their products. I couldn't find one free figure, so I just stopped and now I'm online, Googling around, looking for just ONE free figure that doesn't look like a 10 year old created it. That's how I ended up here.
I was charged for a membership that I did not wish and I had to dispute to get my money back. They eventually refunded my money so they did the right thing, but you have to read carefully all the text as once you subscribe to their membership it will be auto-renew unless you cancel! If you paid with paypal, you must cancel on the paypal site as well as on the Daz site.
Their software is fun to use but if you really wish to enjoy it, you will need to buy more content and it is easy to spend a lot of money quickly that way. Good thing the software is free because that help a lot with cost of purchasing content. I bought for over 300$ of content so far. Just be aware of this. If you wish to try it at least it is free.
The asset system needs a better fix than daz central, needs more options on hiding content (like gen2) when your not using it. And Daz's integration of the assets are really a issue. Daz needs to know when its installed.
There were two items in my wishlist that were on sale, but as soon as I moved them to my cart, the sale disappeared. What would have cost less than $10 total now cost over $20, so I removed them from my cart and bought something else. Those two items now suddenly are no longer on sale. Not happy about this.
I think DAZ3d has saved my career :) I love the products. I love getting a good deal. I love being able to communicate with the designers for help and product requests. I think its run well, has efficient help turn around and exciting sales. Thank you :)
Thanks I find it helpful that the site shows what you need if you needs something first to use a product. That prevents you from buying stuff you end up unable to use and also enables to to plan what to get.
But I am still not clear about being able to use some of the older stuff like Gen 3 etc with later models.
Eg. Can I use the hair, faces and clothes of a Gen 2,3 etc with a Gen 8. I am guessing that you can if you have the Gen 8 already.
Extra Savings for DAZ + Members! Not. Pile stuff in cart. "Your cart in empty." Try again. "Your Cart is empty." Third time's a charm. "Your total DAZ+ Discount is 4%." Whoo-eeee! Who needs Fast Grab! On serious note, store incompetence is costing DAZ hundreds of dollars... Whoo-eeee! Chapter 11 with "Taffy" in charge!
Search engine could be more like Google, Bing or DDG. Example: via web browser, type, "Steel drums" -music -instruments. Filters out those words. At DAZ store type, "Skirt" -dForce -Male -- This results in dForce skirts for guys topping results. 0_o!
Usually quick and easy to find and buy. Shopping is orderly and usually the vendors have some sort of actual illustration of what the purchase will entail. However, on some occasions the vendor does artsy advertisement that says more about them than the object for sale.
I was in the process of buying quite a few items from your website, when suddenly most of the discounted prices were changed to full price. I had quite a job deleting all the items that I no longer wanted to buy.
Selecting items was easy, however, sometimes the pricing changed when items where added to the cart. That was a little confusing. Also, I don't find the rules for MAD offers easy to understand, that could be improved.
Daz Shop Products have an incredibly high quality in general and the plugins, scripts as well as templates are easy to use.
Moreover, thank you for providing Genesis 8 to Genesis 9 conversion products so quickly! As someone who mostly owns Genesis 8 products and is on a tight budget, the conversion products are incredibly helpful in using my library with the new Genesis 9 figures (which by the way is just amazing).
Over all really happy. Only one thing and that is I'm curious if Daz Studio is going to make a tool similar to hexagon to make its software like a drafting program. So that no outside software is needed.
GREAT content. Daz discount plans (platinum club) are way to expensive. Every time you go to use the codes they don't work with the items you want to purchase. The plans should save you on every item not just select items.
I had some issue with my MasterCard (probably because it's rechargeable card), anyway I've used PayPal, but still an issue.
If you fear that there's no cash on it, just suspend the subscription to Daz+:)
For the rest all looks cool!
Enjoyed browsing the available hair models for Genesis and V4. Do wish there was some more precise way to search, but that's quite impossible I'm sure, since artists will name styles as they choose and I've no idea what 'real' names might be, other than pony tails and Edwardian or Marie Antoinette.
DAZ Studio is fun and easy to learn. I've used it for two decades and expect to continue for another. I'd love to see more options for selecting by figure group in the content management tools, for example, all content that functions with Victoria 3, all content that functions with Genesis 2, etc.
Thanks for the reminder. I'd put that item into my cart a day or two back and forgot about it. Your reminder enabled me to take advantage of the sale price.
While I wish there was option to search for something within a specific section (e.g. Textures within the Tutorial and Curricula section), navigating the site and finding what I wanted was quite painless.
Answer: You get 3 free transfers then there is a cost to upgrade to unlimited. I found a much better program FaceGen Artist Pro. It's pricey at $139 but gives much better results than the built in face transfer.
Answer: Daz has a free transfer program on their website for blender, maya and many more. Works good!
Answer: No, Daz Studio does animation. You will render your animation series.
Answer: Daz3D will not read those files, as they are just text. However, the files can be "rendered" as an image, for use within Daz3D. Or, if you are asking about the other side of things, Daz3D can render images or video, which can be used along with your presentations. Both of those formats you mention, do not normally include "video formats". Neither of them are "image formats". PDF is just a text layout format for printing pages. MS-Word is just a text-formatting program, for use with printing too, for direct display in MS-Word, or on printed paper. However, it can export in other formats. (Not to be confused with "Word pad".) If you can put the words on an image, in any form, they can be used within Daz3D, for display. However, Daz does not have any form of "text-rendering code", to convert text into 3D objects.
Answer: When you register with the website, you will be given a code that is entered for you. If that fails, for whatever reason, you can go to your profile page and locate all "license codes", used to activate all the free items which may need them. (Or the paid programs, if you buy them.)
Daz3D has a rating of 3.1 stars from 1,448 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Reviewers satisfied with Daz3D most frequently mention good experience, customer service and high quality. Daz3D ranks 2nd among Graphic Design sites.
I'm sorry to hear that has been your experience and perspective. While it is true that there is a large amount of content for purchase, there is also content available for free. Specifically, at http://www.daz3d.com/free-3d-models where Daz 3D makes 13 free items available per week. These rotate out each week. As for the quality of free figures, there are examples such as: http://www.daz3d.com/gallery/images/53004/ which is an image created by a Daz user by following one of the tutorials and using entirely free content.
Again, I do understand that if your intention is to get into an entirely free hobby, that you might feel frustrated that by far most of the content is available for purchase rather than free. But we do feel that making a 3D Software suite, the only free software anywhere that makes Iray rendering capabilities available to people, is a pretty big deal. Add to that the free content that is made available with the application, and on the website (at the url above) every week, and it seems like a unique opportunity for someone to start creating art in 3D and get some experience for free.
I do not disagree with your point however, that if one intends to continue this as a serious hobby, or to become a professional artist, that they would need to spend some money to do so.
